Dashing space adventurer, intrepid hero, and favorite on the lecture circuit, Red Shift is the star of our show and a certified, fully licensed Do-Gooder. Charged by the Intergalactic House of Truth, Freedom and Peace to patrol the Milky Way Galaxy, Red searches for wrongs to right, evil plots to foil, and injustices to unjustify. His cunning and bravery are known far and wide, his skills at fisticuffs know no equal, and he also looks rather dashing in silver lame, something that not just anybody can pull off. Red pilots the starways in his fantastical rocket-ship, the Recalcitrant, one of the most sophisticated mid-sized frigate-class starships in five parsecs. At least, until the warranty expires. Red's philosophy to "always do the right thing" has inspired probably dozens of Galactic citizens to join the Do-Gooder cause, a fact that he is quite proud of, and for darn good reason.

Equal parts best friend, sidekick, mechanic and second-in-command, Lumpy is the first guy you'd go to when your hyperpneubaric combustilator has thrown a reactor rod. His mechanical and electrical know-how help keep the Recalcitrant running with regular 30,000-parsec tuneups and neutronoil changes, and he is board-certified to run and maintain the Hyperion Drive, a special faster-than-light engine that allows the Recalcitrant to warp across the galaxy at speeds that approach, or even exceed, the limits of the imagination. He's also the ship's cook and resident alien diplomat, which comes in handy when your Fringorfian entrée suddenly gains sentience and attempts a dinnertime revolt. In his spare time, Lumpy is an amateur writer and expert cribbage player. Er, sorry: that's "space cribbage".

Direct from the pages of her very own Penny Parker, Girl Reporter Action Comix, Penny is the fearless and feisty investigative reporter for the Kane Daily Press back on Earth. Never one to shy away from being in the thick of things, Penny can get out of a jam just as easily as she can get herself into one and you can bet that more often than not, she ends up nabbing the bad guy along with the scoop. Her nose for news led her to Red Shift's spacecraft, but she got more story than she bargained for when she inadvertently became a stowaway! Now a perma-passenger aboard the Recalcitrant and Junior Do-Gooder in Training, Penny still finds time to write news reports of her amazing adventures, though it's not very clear exactly which news agency she's writing for. For one, not many alien species can read English, and for two, it's darned hard to make a deadline in space unless you do some pretty fancy fiddling with a faster-than-light drive.

Irascible yet insanely intelligent, intuitive with an insatiable appetite, Dr. Alberts is a Senior Fellow at Earth's prestigious Research Institute and no stranger to curious phenonema. It's funny the things you can do with a rack of chemicals and unstable materials. Even so, once in outer space, the Doc is completely amazed at the variety of alien life and technology that he always hoped had existed. The cranky crackpot pledges to accompany the crew of the Recalcitrant in the name of science, as well as cuisine, for the Doc will try any alien delicacy at least once. It's not yet determined whether it's his theories or his stomach which get him into the most amount of trouble, but at least he keeps things interesting for everyone involved. In addition, Doc may know a bit more about alien technology than he realizes, however, as the faster-than-light Hyperion Drive was his pet project back on Earth... but what, exactly, was his inspiration?

Special Guest Villain of: [S1M1] The Terror of Terra-Khan
Played by Brian Rust
High Commander of Kargathos, this monomaniacal villain has also been known as Draith the Conqueror, Draith the Unstoppable, Draith the Scourge and voted Most Likely to Crush a Planet Beneath His Iron Fist by his fellow senior classmates back at Overlord U. Basically if it involves conquest and crushing and iron fists, it's probably his doing. Draith's hysterical, overdramatic ways have won him precious few friends, but he swears he doesn't need any to help bring about Red Shift's doom (doom in the most imminent, complete, and messy sense.) Still, he's a regular at any one of a number of Galactic incarceration systems, and has unsuccessfully lobbied several times to institute a rewards points system for frequent guests. Somehow he just can't understand that they really don't want to reward you for constant imprisonment.

Special Guest Villains of: [S1M2] The Rise of the Repo-Bots
The Forebot played by Ari Herbstman - Repo-Prime played by Matt Kimmel
Advanced robotic collections agents designed and programmed specifically to collect on debts and if you're missing a payment on your starship, you're going to be seeing a lot of them. Their ground forces are led by a easily annoyed mookbot by the name of Repo-Prime, while their entire operation is overseen by the garrulous, loquacious, and punctuation-loving Forebot.

Violet Spektra is a Disconnektor, the antithesis of the Do-Gooder. Where Red performs acts of selfless courage and heroism to help others in the name of the Greater Good, Violet only acts on something if she personally benefits from it. This often means she's undoing the good that which Red and Lumpy have already done, and for that she's not in our heroes' good graces. She also personally detests Red and all he stands for, which is another strike against her, really. From the way those two bicker, you'd think they had a past. And they just might. How exciting and intriguing!

Bunny is hyperactive. Bunny is cute! Bunny has pink hair. Bunny travels through space with her best friend in the galaxy, Violet Spektra! Hooray! Bunny can be loud. Sometimes Bunny has to have a Time Out in the ship! Why is Bunny travelling with such an evildoer? Because Bunny wants to grow up to be just like Violet someday! Or maybe a pastry chef. Bunny likes chaos, singing along to music and looking at pictures of cats wearing people clothes. But most of all, Bunny likes Lumpy. A lot. The feeling is not quite mutual, though, but Bunny doesn't care. She's too busy having fun flying around in space to care! Just do not let her near the Space Food Sticks. Those are locked up for a reason.

Not much is known about these two except that they look alike, they show up unexpectedly and disappear just as randomly, and Red refers to them as "those guys who keep trying to shoot at me." They might be assassins out to get Red, but considering how many times they've had their chance and missed, they're not doing a very good job of it. Which is Du'Karch and which is Du'Kell? Who can say?!

Special Guest Villains of: [E0A2] Havoc over Holowood
Played by Mare Freed, Christian Hegg, Julia Lunetta and Brian Rust
An evil race of acid-spitting reptilianoids, the Spetacosians are an enthusiastic but sarcastic breed who tend to love something so much that they end up hating it. The particular Spetacosians we encounter in Havoc over Holowood are fans of the Jetpack Jones show, but honestly, can you call any group of viewers who firebomb the studios and take the star hostage fans? (Well, okay, you can if you're Kathy Bates and the star is James Caan, but still...)
